Predicting Diaphragm Valve Failure - Milena McFeeters

Ever wanted to have a Crystal Ball?   Did you know that the #1 suspect for a process line failure is diaphragm valves and gaskets?   On this episode of the Modern BioPharma Podcast (www.modernbiopharma.com) I am joined by Milena McFeeters from the BioProcess Institute to talk about the failure modes of Diaphragm Valves. Interesting right…?  Well, if most of the Pharma Process failures are due to things you could do a better job predicting, this just might be the episode for you :)  The Consumer Reports of the Pharma Industry, the BioProcess Institute has put together a comprehensive failure mode test and results that show the reliability of different manufacturers and the kinds of failures that are typical under different stresses and environments (CIP and SIP).   In this episode we discuss a number of things that are shown visually. You can both get a "cheat sheet" and the full report at https://bioprocessinstitute.com/.  you can also watch this episode on our Youtube Channel.

Om Podcasten

The Modern BioPharma Podcast was born out of the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic and the desire to connect professionals in the pharmaceutical engineering community to the stories of others around them and what they are doing to make a difference. This industry is one of resistance to change all while life altering medicines and therapies are coming into existence that demand a different kind of manufacturing plant. The same people work on these facilities across the industry. Let's get to know each other.
